Set default to ‘post in plain text’. 

"Uses a tapa signature"

[DDD Dad 14351]

maybe stop banning people for not doing anything

Well apparently you did something to get banned and rejoin 3 hours ago.

Maybe I'll mess with it this weekend but it seems like the only solution fucks everyone over who wants to actually paste in rich text. I'm not willing to do that for the dark mode users as there is already a viable workaround (highlighting text) it sucks but the users of copy/paste far outnumber the dark mode users. I keep an eye on which themes are used in Google analytics.

anyone who has >25% of their posts in CR should be locked in there

After football season or 2020 ends I am seriously thinking about splitting off the politics to a new board entirely.

FWIW, I pretty much always choose to paste as plain text and wish it was the default. Could you flip it so there's an option to paste as rich text instead with plain as the default?

No that's the problem. If you could reverse that option it would be perfect, but you can't. 

[Captainant 27797]

Well, furk. Also, not really negging but what's the point of new icons if you can't use em??

Works fine for me. Maybe your computer caught the aids.

Mine works but I have to hover over a blank spot to bring up all the rep when it used to not be like that. Started doing that immediately after imma added the new rep icons. Will try on another browser to troubleshoot. I use Chrome.

I see the same on chrome on my desktop, and I use the no avatar theme if that makes a difference

Anyone who has fewer than 10 posts after getting banned should consider whether his opinion is valued.

Screenshots? 

[mdmost 43055]

I don't have it either on Chrome but I don't rep people typically because rep is stupid.

More than 10 pos rep gets highlighted with the heart. Means it's a popular post.

Posters who refuse to give out rep should have their ability to receive rep taken away.

[NeverMarryAStripper 21930]

I think I've given neg rep once.  It's just no fun without the comments.

You should do this before November. Things could get really ugly then.

Nope.  No fun at all.  Gonna have to go remove it.

@immamac Is there a reason why I have to "change background image' every time I log in? Using a work computer so I don't want to stay logged in overnight. 

[immamac 43127]

are you clearing your cookies/localstorage? that will clear your background image, however when you log in your preferences should be in the cookie that is given after authentication.

Are you logging in and still having to change background?

Yeah. I'm using Chrome and I've set it to clear cookies when shutting down. I might have to go in an manual add surly to save the cookies.

But yes, when I log in it 'resets' the background to default.

[Guest]

Yeah on both chrome laptop and ios ipad, it forgets my background preferences if I log off and log back in.
 

not the end of the world...just little tweaks.

That's some common ground like a motherfucker.   Fuck that autoplay horseshit.  You gotta go search out where the fuck the noises are coming from.   Should shoot them to Bolivia...

If you quote someone who's blocked you, there should be a warning notice that says "they don't care what you are saying since they have blocked you".

It’s always fun to look at the forums and see that LTtxfan is nearly all of the most recent comments.

[PilotsError 2324]

He's the worst

LTtxfan is the Derel?

It's not a big thing, but the widget this site is using to list the Horn's football schedule has the date wrong for the Baylor game.  Pretty sure the Horns aren't playing simultaneous games on Halloween.

I have asked to reset my password multiple times in the last week, but the link is not getting sent to me. Can someone help?

It's 2020, don't be so quick to dismiss the schedule.

Are the new forums google searchable or excluded like IPIHB?   

[Orange&White 5539]

Can we get the new forums into the list in the white strip at the top of the page? Just below the social media icons?

[Guest Lobo]

Yes, like the business/6th street page.  It's not directly accessible with the other forums

@immamac I use the timeline format and love it. However, there are far too many Cloak Room threads, which I never visit, cluttering it up. My request is an easy way to eliminate those threads in my timeline. I know the work around Is to check every forum except Cloak Room. However, that method makes it difficult to look at a single forum when needed then go back to seeing every thread but those from Cloak Room Thanks for your consideration.
